aronow powerboats history?

[JO - PANTERABOAT]

Harbor 1 was a dealer for Aronow Powerboats. Keith Hazell and I were involved in the Gucci Aronow for some people from the Middle East if I remember. Everything on the boat was gold plated, and I mean everything. What a cluster ____!! Had 572's and 3's if I'm not mistaken.

We have been friends for way over 30 years and I have always thought of you as a classy guy, no surprise you were involved w/ such a classy boat!

As Mr. Paul Harvey would say, and now you know the rest of the story.......

so how much HP to top out at 75 in a 37/39 ? more concerned about a 4k rpm or lower 60 mph cruise...

Shawn Ryan? I remember Shawn when he was younger. Guess he was about 20 years old or so. Good kid. What, is he into football or something now, or?

Yes, real good kid.

I went down to Miami to buy that boat in 2003. Turned out to be in pretty rough shape so I passed.

Jesse James, here is a page from the 1990 powerboat mag. performance data on the 37'/39' Aronow!.....If you need, I have the full (4 pg.) write-up.

Lets see...Shawn would be in his late 40's by now(give or take)? And he still is playing LaX? Or do you mean Shawns son, who grew up in Palm Beach Gardens? Also a good kid. Thanx

No, I was wrong. It's Tyler, Butch's youngest, who is playing LaX. We just watched his game an hour ago against FSU. Sorry for the confusion.

is the 39 aronow a top gun with platform or a dammed 41 apache, or an original?

thanks

I happened to see the 37'/39' Aronow that was articled in the 1990 Powerboat magazine in the yard at Kurt's marine this fall here in Jersey. I don't think the above question was fully answered back when the post was up. Just curious if anybody knows the true origin of the 37' Aronow hull.

[jake237]

any pics of the 47' rigged for military use?

Let me see what I can come up with. I know they are out there somewhere.

I got to look at a 39 Aronow Power Cat yesterday.
What a big, wide puppy.

[Ratickle]

There are a couple of those for sale. They never did perform correctly. Too bad Don didn't have more time to perfect the design.

[fund razor]

Correct in what regard?

[old377guy]

They were'nt no Skaters - that's for sure
